Presentation: Visually, this website is very appealing. It's dark and creepy - just like the man himself! It's designed with Poe's literary works in mind (i.e., the title of the page has a raven within the lettering). It's also organized very well.
Eye Appeal: I don't feel overwhelmed by this website - and I know that can be a factor for students when trying to gather information. It's easy to identify where I need to do go for certain information. The graphics and images supplement all of the information well too!
Flow of information: The tabs are easy to identify: About the Museum, Poe's Life, Selected Works, Teachers, Students, and Shop. Each place is easy to locate and accessible. I also like when you go to click on a tab it lights up - very appealing and fun!
Spelling/Grammar: There are zero spelling and grammatical errors on this page.
Encyclopedia Britannica Website
Presentation: This website is presented just as a page from an encyclopedia. It's not flashy or overly exciting.
Eye Appeal: The advertisements on the right could be very distracting for a student. They may have a tendency to click on them and end up somewhere where they should not be for the assignment.
Flow of information: The information is set up into two categories: Life and Appraisal. It's very straightforward and should not be confusing for the student. However, the tabs at the top (stories, quizzes, galleries, etc.) could be confusing for the student because those links have nothing to do with Poe.
Spelling/Grammar: There are zero spelling and grammatical errors on this page.
